first pass de-suckification for 2015. modernize content a bit, fix dirty
rotten lies, improve wording, sync legalese with reality, yada yada yada.

NetBSD.org police.

Rename NetBSD/hp700 to NetBSD/hppa.

Unfortunately our VCS isn't very helpful here.

Prefer dhcpcd(8) over dhclient(8).

More MI release notes updates, particularly around installing.

This could use more love!

Most contents in ftp://ftp.NetBSD.org/pub/NetBSD/packages/ seem removed
recently (do we have any announcment?) so update pakcages URLs and
descriptions accordingly.

Final round of INSTALL cleanups for 5.0.

Another round of INSTALL improvements big and small.

Various updates to the install notes.

Use a 192.0.2.0/24 address in example per RFC 3330. Suggested by tron@.

Update URLs for packages PKG_PATH from obsolete one:
ftp://ftp.NetBSD.org/pub/NetBSD/packages/{VERSION}/{MACHINE}/All
to newer one:
ftp://ftp.NetBSD.org/pub/pkgsrc/packages/NetBSD/{MACHINE}/{VERSION}/All
which is documented in the pkgsrc guide, and also note the alternative path:
/pub/NetBSD/packages/current-packages/NetBSD/{MACHINE}/{VERSION}/All
for mirrors which don't mirror /pub/pkgsrc but have only /pub/NetBSD.

First cut at INSTALL notes for NetBSD/arc.
Finally we could close another ancient PR port-arc/11443.

After several years, we got the native bootloader and then had
sysinst which would do apprpriate partitioning for the bootloader,
so I've noted the last difficult part, how to specify boot commands
on the ARC BIOS.

I still wonder how many possible users of NetBSD/arc are there
who will need this topic though... ;-p
